Piscitelli said he had a "tender offer'' from the Cleveland Browns but will definitely be going the free agent route when the NFL walkout ends. Sabby had a bad falling out with Tampa Bay last season. He told me coming back to the OSU campus "rejuvenates the soul.''

Quizz just got back from a workout for the New England Patriots.

Dockery, who loves the San Diego Chargers, has a workout scheduled with the Oakland Raiders on April 12-13 and is also talking with Tampa Bay.
